Some questions to think about… (cont) Is there anything that the Earth has, that the Moon does not have, that will not let the craters that are created stick around? What other reasons could there be for why there are not as many craters on Earth? Scientists describe Earth as “young” and surfaces like the moon as “old.” Why do you think this is the case?
